Waitress Page #4

---

I want her, Dawn.

That lady right there.

Oh, well, I'm sorry, honey,

but you're sitting in my station.

All the tables in Dawn's

station are taken.

No, but I don't want you.

I want her.

Well, if you want to eat

in this diner,

- you got to sit here, and I've got to wait on you.

- She a good friend of yours?

What can you tell me about her?

What's she...

- What are her likes and dislikes? What does she look for in a man?

- Uh, honey,

I'm just here to bring you pie

or coffee or something like that.

I don't dispense romantic advice.

What if I paid you?

Excuse me, I'm going to go

talk to Dawn for a minute,

see if she won't

- come deal with you herself.

- Oh, that'd be wonderful.

- You've got to help me.

- What is going on?

That guy, his name is Ogie,

short for Oklahoma.

I was supposed to meet someone

named Pete last night.

Instead, he sent Ogie.

It was the worst five minutes in my life.

I made the mistake of

telling him I work here.

How could a five-minute date be that bad?

He took me through the entire medical

and psychiatric history of his family.

Oh, no.

And he told me he wants to marry me.

- Oh, no!

- Marry me!

And he's not giving up, not ever giving up,

that's what he said.

First guy that pays any

attention to me in years,

and he turns out to be

the mad stalking elf.

I'm telling you, Jenna,

your makeup job was too good,

and your "Magic Love Pie... "?

I'm sorry.

- What am I supposed to do?

- You go over there

and you tell him you're not interested.

- I told him that last night.

- Tell him better.

- Come with me.

- I can't. I've got to go throw up.

Fine, I'll just

go over there myself.

I'm a very persistent man, Dawn.

I know what I want.

I know what makes me happy.

Blah, blah, blah.

I'm a tax auditor.

I make $31,000 a year plus bonuses.

I drive a very nice compact car.

I eat at all the best restaurants

within a 50-mile radius.

I love my mother.

What else do you need

to know about me?

- How to make you go away.

- You can't.

You can't make me go away.

'Cause I don't take

no for an answer.

I'll just keep coming back

and coming back

till finally your resistance is weakened.

'Cause we were meant

to be together, Dawn.

You don't know me!

Oh, yes, I do.

You're Dawn.

And you inspire poetry in me.

Here's one I'm making up

right here on the spot.

"Dawn, can I bring you joy

"like you brung me sunshine?

Can I hold you a minute

and it turns into forever?"

- Do you like that one?

- No!

Okay, how about a spontaneous

tidbit that rhymes?

"All my life I've met harlots,

"but you are a queen...

da, da, da, da, da, da, da...

something between... "

I... I got to work on that one.

Leave me alone.

I can't leave you alone...

'cause I'm in love with you, Dawn.

And you're going to be my wife.

Listen to me.

You make me sick!

I think you're nothing

but a crazy little freak,

and I wish you would

go away and die!

I... I...

Oh, I'm sorry, hon.

Jenna.

You're always on the phone.

Sorry, this is important.

Yeah, what's so important?

Can I please have some privacy?

Hi, uh, is Dr. Pomatter there?

This is, um, Jenna Hunterson.

I'm his patient.

Hi, Dr. Pomatter.

It's Jenna Hunterson.

Um, listen, I'm sure it's nothing,

but you said to call

if I had any concerns.

And this morning, um,

I'm bleeding a little bit.

No, no, it's very, very light,

like spotting.

Come in to see you?

Okay, uh... tomorrow morning?

You in at 7:
00?

Oh, okay, then.

Glad you're open so early

so I won't be late for work.

Thanks.

See you then.

Who are you seeing at 7:00 tomorrow?

Not telling you, 'cause you don't

tell me your secrets neither.

Oh, so this is a secret.

No, I'm just going

to see the doctor.

There, that's my big secret.

What's yours?

Can't say. Not yet.

- Why the hell not?

- Well...

- Hey!

- Hey!

Don't you have customers?

How come you can't never say

one nice thing ever

like, "How are you, Jenna?"

Or "Nice to see you today, Jenna"

or "Great apple pie today, Jenna"?

All you ever say is stuff like,

"Don't you have customers?

- Get out of the kitchen. Get back to work. "

- Don't you have customers?

Get out of the kitchen.

Get back to work.

Hello, Jenna.

Hello.

Here. I brought you

some "Peachy Keen" tarts.

Wow, thanks.

You're welcome.

- Where's everybody else?

- Uh, I came in a little early

to see you.

Nobody else is here.

Oh.

That's why I'm opening the door for you.

- I see.

- So come in.

Now, you say the bleeding was very mild?

Yeah.

And has it stopped?

Yeah, I only saw it the one time.

Okay, good.

Well, you can

get dressed now

and, uh, meet me in my office

when you're ready.

You, you're not going to examine me?

No, no need. No.

Just get dressed and we'll talk.

Okay.

Hi.

Hi. Come on in. Sit down.

Oh, my God.

Mm.

Well, am I okay? I mean,

is something wrong with me?

No.

Mm!

No, there's nothing wrong with you.

Uh, light spotting

is a perfectly normal symptom

in early pregnancy.

Were you concerned

about a miscarriage?

Not really.

Is that everything you have to say?

Um...

yes.

- No.

- Well, what?

I...

Nothing.

Um, you can go now.

Uh... I'll see you

at your next regularly scheduled

appointment, and again, don't

- hesitate to call...

- To call you if I have any questions or concerns.

Exactly.

Why'd you have me come

all the way in here

if spotting's a perfectly normal symptom

in early pregnancy?

I mean, I had to get up early,

take a bus, walk five blocks,

just to hear that spotting

is a perfectly normal symptom?

I have no response to that.

And what time does this office

normally open, Doctor, 8:30?

9:
00.

9:
00?

So-So you came in here two hours

early just to tell me

that spotting is a perfectly

normal symptom?

Well, it would seem that way, yes.

Good-bye, Dr. Pomatter.

Good-bye, Jenna.

I think you're strange.

I'm not sure I want you

to be my doctor anymore.

You make me uncomfortable.

I'm sorry, Jenna.

I'm really sorry.

Whatever it is I do,

I will not do it anymore.

You should not be uncomfortable

at this time.

- You're doing it again.

- How? What did I?

I don't know, you know,

that nice-guy-talky thing you do.

You just... Oh, forget it.

Damn! My purse!

You forgot your pur...

Hey!

Don't walk away from me.

Well, what do you want?

I want to see you again.

I want to talk to you

somewhere outside of here.
